Prerequisites
- 70% minimum average
- ENG4U with a minimum grade of 70%
- Alternative Offers
- To give students options, we often provide Alternate Offers of Admission when students don't yet qualify for their preferred program choices. Rest assured that we will continue to assess all applications to all program choices as we receive new information (i.e., mid-term grades from 2nd semester, night school and virtual course grades) and as space permits.
What to watch for
Direct entry at a 70% minimum. Forensic Science (NFS) is a separate code at the same minimum. Windsor publishes a minimum average rather than a range, and its own pages show the minimum is a floor for consideration, not the bar: Nursing is listed at 70% but Windsor recommends 85%, and Concurrent Education lists 75% while the admitted mean is 86%. For limited-enrolment programmes, treat the published number as the lowest you can apply with, not what gets you in.
